Re: Questions for the People of Los Angeles

You really know the way to my heart. Nothing is better than a good German beer hall to me, I grew up on a hog farm in a German immigrant town. I am excited already for that. Thanks for the tip on the LACMA too

You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.

Re: Questions for the People of Los Angeles

Their mustard sauce that comes with the pretzels is heavenly and those little potato pancakes with the cheese. . . OMG, I'm hungry.

Never tried those but thanks for the heads up. Might go there to check out the UCLA game on Thurs.

Question for you LA people. What is the best way to go about getting tickets for a Laker game? They are playing the jazz on Friday. They don't have to be good seats or anything, but I am just wondering if the box office, stub hub, Craigslist or scalpers outside the venue are my best bet?

Re: Questions for the People of Los Angeles

With how they're playing I imagine it's easier to get Lakers tickets than it has been in about a decade. They are never cheap. I'd say check StubHub to see the price range offered there, then see if you can get a better deal by going thru what vigo posted or even Ticketmaster. StubHub has always been the resource I used.

Re: Questions for the People of Los Angeles

I still have my Lakers Season seats in 217. Even with their performance, demand for games I don't go to has been higher this year than the last few years.

The two safest ways to buy Lakers tix is thru Ticketexchange, where season seats are reissued to buyers, or Stubhub. Agencies are good too, just usually higher priced. CL may be good, just not as efficient. I wouldn't worry too much about fraud because the penalties on the season seat holders are pretty bad if a barcode is scanned more than once.

If you want mine, ill take paypal and email them to you. They are 186 for the pair and in section 217 row 2.

Re: Questions for the People of Los Angeles

All Los Angeles needs to know is that Eric Garcetti is the better choice for mayor, Wendy Gruel sucks. Also, for controller, Ron Galperin is the smarter choice, Dennis Zine is a stupid hack, and a womanizer. For the marijuana propositions, vote YES on Prop F as it does not limit how many dispensaries can be open, while Props D and E limit the amount (so No on D and E).

Re: Questions for the People of Los Angeles

That is exactly the reason. It's a historic business core full of small family shops, and the (very real) concern is that opening a Wal-Mart will detract from these organizations. Plus, do they need reasoning? It's Wal-Mart, one of the most offensively destructive megacorporations in terms of wages, labor law violations, undercutting, destroying small town businesses and general douchebaggery. Anyone who likes where they live would be wise to protest the opening of a Wal-Mart

The article I posted had links to several other articles on the subject - my hope was that should you be interested in what was happening you would follow up on your own by clicking through. It's been a thing that has been going on for several months now and there are intriguing arguments on each side. I just didn't feel like writing it all up myself and provided the latest piece of the puzzle.
